Jaycinth

03-22-2006, 12:27 AM

POOF!!!! That Milton Bradly game you had up on the top shelf of your closet just had the silly double loop straightened out, the divorce court is before the wedding chapel, and all of the carreers are IT, politics and organized crime.

Oh they are. However, when Bill Gates opened for them, his hair flew off, blinding you. As you stumbled around trying to get the hair out of your eyes, you crashed into the desk, bumped your head, and were knocked out cold.

I wish I could see Pink Floyd in concert one last time.

I bestow upon thee the endurance and power of a mighty Clydesdale!

But until you get used to the bit in your mouth and the rest of the tack, you have to start at the back of the team where the view never changes.

I wish Popeye's Spicy fried chicken, hot fudge sundaes and banana splits fulfilled all of the nutritional requirements of the human body.

I wish I had someone to cook dinner for me.

I wish my karaoke friends would let me sing "Walk the Line" as it was on American Idol just now.

Jewel101

I wish I could sail around the world

POOF!

Welcome to People's island. Owned by the 39 member People's family. They are Orthodox Ludddites. They live in pre neolithic splendor, and now you will too, and be their worshipped leader.

By the way the island is 14 sq miles slightly south-east of Easter Island, no one knows it is there, and they just smashed up the boat you arrived in to make that welcoming fire you wanted.

I wish YOU were President of Somalia!

EASY LIFE: POOF, that Milton Bradley game you have now only has a start and finish, no dice and in one move you win!

I wish that somthing interstingly evil would make dumb people smart.

Danger Jane

03-23-2006, 04:33 AM

Granted. The government decides that since everyone is smart there is no need for education and thus abolishes school. A generation of smart people saturates the job market and ruins the economy. Then, due to the lack of school, the world slumps into a dark age full of intelligent know-nothings. All knowledge is lost.

I wish I weighed ninety-seven pounds.

I wish I had bones :(

Bob Dole

They aren't talking to you.

I wish I had a brain. (I am a scare crow)

No problemo. My cat just took your horse's SAT and got 1100. Which is not great but it is good enough for Texas A&M. You just need to pay a little extra for room and board. I mean..it is a HORSE!

Granted! But soon after arrival, everybody will start fighting and find out that they only thought they had things in common. The soire is such a disaster, none of us have the stomach to go back to AW, which means it'll never be the same again.

I wish movie makers wouldn't use so many vulgar words, so my 8 year old could watch them.

03-28-2006, 08:24 AM

Granted. It's designed to look and smell exactly like a real one, but is made entirely from tire rubber.

I wish I was in Japan already.

poetinahat

03-28-2006, 08:32 AM

Granted. You're a minke whale.
damn, that's sad

I wish I made people happy.

Jewel101

03-28-2006, 08:54 AM

Granted. But you've made them so happy they want to kill you gleefully for making them so friggin happy.

I wish huge spouse fights never happened. The little ones are ok.

Jaycinth

03-28-2006, 07:25 PM

Granted! Your spouse now shrinks down to the size of a 'Lego' person every time a fight starts, causing everyone to laugh.

I wish my cat didn't have such a snide 'my box don't stink' attitude.

Haggis

03-28-2006, 07:30 PM

Granted. Your cat is now a dog, and poops in your shoe.

I wish I'd picked George Mason in the Final Four.

Eveningsdawn

03-30-2006, 07:32 AM

Granted. But history changed to allow it, and now he lost. So you picked him, but you're still wrong.

I wish I weren't sick.

poetinahat

03-30-2006, 07:38 AM

Granted, but everyone else in your house is. You'll be taking care of them all for a while....

I wish I could play sax like Sonny Rollins.

September skies

03-30-2006, 07:45 AM

granted but the genie that granted it heard wrong and thought you said: "I with I could have sex like Sonny Rollins -- and he doesn't get any.

I wish I could sleep in tomorrow - at least till 6:30 a.m.

Sage

03-30-2006, 07:51 AM

Granted. You sleep in 'til noon & nothing you were supposed to do before then gets done.

I wish I didn't have allergies.

September skies

03-30-2006, 08:01 AM

granted. But you do have alligators instead -- all over the yard.

I wish I didn't have to wait one more hour to see who gets booted off American Idol tonight.

Haruko_Ito

03-30-2006, 08:03 AM

Granted. *pulls out a shotgun and shoots the T.V.* No you'll have to wait more than an hour.

I wish I had a cookie...

poetinahat

03-30-2006, 08:05 AM

Granted. Your computer is loaded with spyware. Your vital details are stolen, and it takes you half an hour to post to AW.

I wish smoking were good for you.

Sage

03-30-2006, 08:12 AM

Granted. You have the bladder problem (as seen on House) where cigarettes will help alleviate the problem.

I wish someone would critique my first chapter.

poetinahat

03-30-2006, 08:14 AM

Granted. Bruebelly scone NOT dericious. :D

I wish I could let go of that line.

Jewel101

03-30-2006, 11:08 AM

Granted. But now you got a worse line that you can't get rid of.

I wish I was with the one I love

nandu

03-30-2006, 03:33 PM

Granted. But he/she is in an advanced stage of Alzheimer's, and does not remember a thing.

I wish I had plenty of money.

poetinahat

03-30-2006, 03:37 PM

Granted. But it's all from when my 'thimble' piece landed on Ventnor Ave. with a hotel.

I wish I could speak all the European languages fluently.

Godfather

03-30-2006, 05:24 PM

granted, your not allowed to go to europe, and you lost the ability to speak english.

i wish someone would critique my poem

Albedo of Zero

03-30-2006, 06:30 PM

Granted, but all the crits came from poetry.com which means you still have no idea if it works or not.

I wish spring was here.

robeiae

03-30-2006, 07:22 PM

Granted. But you have been relocated to Ice Station Zebra.

I wish I had a lolly.

Jaycinth

03-30-2006, 09:38 PM

Granted. Tis made out of saccharine.

I wish someone would drive a Mack Truck over my shed, then back off and drive over it again. And again. AND AGAIN!!!!!!

threedogpeople

03-30-2006, 10:14 PM

Granted but all of your kids Easter presents were in the shed and the stores close in 5 minutes.

I wish I had wings so I could fly.

Godfather

03-30-2006, 10:47 PM

granted, you have no arms or legs

i wish i was a piano virtuoso

Eveningsdawn

03-30-2006, 11:33 PM

GRanted. BUt now you're blind.

I wish my neck didnt hurt.

threedogpeople

03-30-2006, 11:36 PM

Granted but now your butt hurts worse than your neck.

I wish my house would clean itself as skillfully as if my Mom had done the job.

luxintenebrae

03-30-2006, 11:43 PM

Granted. But now it won't stop cleaning. The dishwasher, faucets, washing machine, and dryer are now running all the time so your electricity bill goes through the roof, and your vacuum makes scheduled runs through each room every hour so you can't sleep.

I wish I had more energy and would stop wanting to take a nap every few hours.

Jaycinth

03-31-2006, 12:07 AM

Granted. You now have ADHD and a caffeine addiction.

I wish my cat could and would make decent coffee every morning at 7.

threedogpeople

03-31-2006, 12:09 AM

Granted but unfortunately the cat can't reach the tap so it has to use water from the toilet.

I wish my husband would finish putting on the baseboards and trim at our cabin.

Jewel101

03-31-2006, 12:18 AM

Granted. But he took the roof don't and started tinkering with it.

I wish that when I go get some coffee, it would already be made.

Jaycinth

03-31-2006, 01:08 AM

Your wish is granted, but my cat made the coffee.

I wish I didn't have the urge to comb the fringe on the carpets everytime I walk across them.

threedogpeople

03-31-2006, 01:19 AM

Granted but the prescription killed ALL of your other urges too.

I wish I could drink more than 1 martini without needing a nap.

poetinahat

03-31-2006, 01:43 AM

Granted. One martini makes you too paranoid to sleep.

I wish I'd taken that left turn at Albequerque.

Yeshanu

03-31-2006, 01:46 AM

You did. Now you're where you're supposed to be, at the Koatala (sp?) Valley, and the big carrot festival therein, and Warner Brothers has cancelled your multi-billion dollar contract because you're not having any more adventures they can film.

I wish my cold would go away.

threedogpeople

03-31-2006, 02:09 AM

Granted but it has been replaced by both the mumps and the chicken pox.

I wish my friends at AW would come to my house for dinner.

eldragon

03-31-2006, 03:33 AM

Oh, we'll be there..........open bar, you say?

I wish there weren't so many snakes in my yard.

Eveningsdawn

03-31-2006, 03:58 AM

Granted; St. Patrick gets rid of them. But now he won't leave your house and he's eating all your food.

I wish my grade in Statistics was higher.

Danger Jane

03-31-2006, 04:31 AM

Granted. Two percent up and you're failing everything else!

I wish I had a lot of Fritos.

threedogpeople

03-31-2006, 04:36 AM

Granted but you must now spend eternity being offended by Frito-burp.

I wish I could go on vacation to some place tropical.

dancingandflying

03-31-2006, 04:43 AM

congratulations! you are standed on an island with no food or water... you're life expectancy: two days.

i wish spring break would never end.

alleycat

03-31-2006, 06:13 AM

Granted. *sigh* But it rains the whole time, and your boyfriend has run off with your best friend. And mom is coming to stay.

(I hated to do that one.)

I wish I have 12 weeks of vacation a year, rather than just three.

threedogpeople

03-31-2006, 06:54 AM

Granted, but you have to spend them with your least favorite cousin (the one that smells like mothballs and motor oil).

I wish it was tomorrow.

Haggis

03-31-2006, 07:03 AM

Granted. Of course, it's still today here, but you're in Siberia. So it's tomorrow. It's freezing cold. And you're naked.

I wish Paris Hilton would just go away.

Albedo of Zero

03-31-2006, 07:35 AM

It is but you have to wait until tomorrow to enjoy it.

I wish my garden was already tilled.

luxintenebrae

03-31-2006, 09:53 AM

Granted and granted. Paris has gone away but Nicole Richie is now touring your city and has decided it's so beautiful that she'll never leave. She's moving in next door to you. Her housewarming party will start around 4 am. Hope you don't mind hearing a thousand obnoxious partiers for years to come.

Paris decides to earn a living for herself by tilling Albedo's garden. Hope you don't mind her yelling "That's hot!" every thirty seconds, but hey, your garden looks fantastic!

Granted! It makes hourly sorties over the neighbourhood and drops REAL bombs.

I wish I were surrounded by gorgeous females.

luxintenebrae

03-31-2006, 11:09 AM

You are, but they're accompanied by their very tall, very muscular boyfriends who deck you every time you look at their girlfriends.

I wish I had my own plane so I could fly anywhere I want to.

Jewel101

03-31-2006, 11:57 AM

Granted. But it has no gas.

I wish I never got these headaches in the first place

tiny

03-31-2006, 12:06 PM

Granted.... you have no head.

I wish that it was summer already.

Godfather

03-31-2006, 12:25 PM

granted, its the coldest summer ever, colder than winter

i wish i knew what to wish for

poetinahat

03-31-2006, 02:45 PM

Granted. You know what to wish for. You have no more wishes.

I wish those days would
come on back once more, I miss those days. Why
did they have to go? I loved them so...

alleycat

03-31-2006, 04:49 PM

Granted. You now have acne, can't get a date for the prom, get wedgies in the locker room, fail to make the badminton team, and have to eat your vegetables (yes, even cauliflower). Yes, those were the days. . . .

I wish all my spring yard work was done.

Jaycinth

03-31-2006, 06:51 PM

POOF!!! The teamsters have come to your yard and paved over every squaree centimeter of ground, to a depth of 3 feet. They left you a flower pot with a plastic flower in it, and a bill, of course.

I wish I could spend a week at a writer's conference with my five favorite authors.

alleycat

03-31-2006, 07:38 PM

Granted. Of course, the five authors hate each other and pout the whole week -- when they're not getting drunk, that is. You spend the week in the bar listening to the bartender with a diamond in his nose tell you his story idea for a best-selling novel ("how hard can it be?") that's "better than Lord of the Rings".

I wish I had a Border Collie (even though dogs are evil).

Jaycinth

03-31-2006, 08:06 PM

Granted. My friend has one named Bruno. He pees on me every chance he gets. I should be happy...he bites everyone else. I have observed him herding her cats, too. I'll leave him in your front yard.....

I wish my tummy didn't feel so..........urp......

spirit.of.the.rain

03-31-2006, 09:44 PM

your wish is my command:

you now have the whooping cough.

i wish the world wasn't full of corrupt governments.

threedogpeople

03-31-2006, 09:56 PM

Granted - the government is squeaky clean but the rest of the world is completely corrupt.

I wish that I could be with my Mom eating home-made, delicious chocolate chip cookies (warm, right out of the oven).

alleycat

03-31-2006, 10:02 PM

Granted. And your mom will enjoy it too; she's been meaning to point out a few of your tiny, tiny faults . . . such as the way you dress, your relationships, your tendency to sleep too late, not getting enough exercise, not watching your weight, watching too much TV. . . and eating way too many cookies.

I wish they would produce the play I'm writing.

threedogpeople

03-31-2006, 10:08 PM

Congratulations, they are going to produce your play but only if Jessica Simpson and Willian Hung have the leading rolls. Also, at least 6 of the supporting rolls must be rewritten so they can be played by cats, in heat.

I wish all of my dirty laundry was washed, folded and put away properly.

Granted, every time you try to speak you begin a full-blown panic attack that renders you speechless.

I wish I could finish the book I am reading today.

alleycat

03-31-2006, 10:34 PM

Granted. Just turn to the last two pages and read those.

I wish I had a brownie to go with the lunch I just had.

Jaycinth

03-31-2006, 11:47 PM

POOF! There you go. A nice big thick one too. just the way you like it. See genies aren't all bad!
Now wasn't that tasty?

I wish I knew where all of my Exlax went.

alleycat

04-01-2006, 01:40 AM

I'll tell you. You got it confused with your birth control pills. You're going to be making another wish in a few weeks.

;-)

I wish I cared enough to know what the heck is going on around here.

Jewel101

04-01-2006, 02:31 AM

Granted. You now care so much that everything we send sends you in estatic spells or weeping fits.

I wish my homewrok was already done

luxintenebrae

04-01-2006, 02:46 AM

Granted. I'll send my 4-year-old nephew right over to help scribble in some answers.

I wish I could have my own TV show.

alleycat

04-01-2006, 05:44 AM

Okay! You're now the host of C-Span Idol. Every week new politicians give really long, boring speeches and one of them is voted off. The judges are George Wills, Molly Ivins and Jesse Jackson. Here's hoping for a long run.

I wish I knew where my cat has hide during the thunderstorm.

Yeshanu

04-01-2006, 05:56 AM

You found it. And all the poop and puke your cat left as a result of being scared once too often... (Yeah, I have cats too.)

I wish my book would write itself.

poetinahat

Granted. It's called 7*&(# y& ()*rlke;a .

I wish I could regrow severed limbs.

tiny

04-01-2006, 07:33 AM

Granted....... you now have all the severed limbs you want, growing every which way, some not your own.

I wish I could drop everything and follow a dream........

poetinahat

04-01-2006, 07:59 AM

Granted. You're taking a final exam, in Latin, in your underwear.

I wish I could whistle.

Perks

04-01-2006, 08:01 AM

I can't whistle either - been trying for thirty years. So, *poof* but now we have less in common.

I wish I didn't need to sleep.

P.H.Delarran

04-01-2006, 07:24 PM

whizzam..you are eternally energized and no longer need sleep, but in place of fatigue you have been given an overwhelming ability to produce gas..and become increasingly uncomfortable..soon to explode..

I wish I wasn't so sarcastic.

sacredmime

04-01-2006, 09:48 PM

Granted. Every time you would have been sarcastic, a jet of acidic venom shoots out your nostrils instead.

I wish I had the gift of prophecy.

Danger Jane

04-02-2006, 01:18 AM

Granted. However, you only seem to predict horribly depressing things and they all come true.

I wish I had a distinguishing Christian name like Septimus.

Eveningsdawn

04-02-2006, 01:35 AM

Granted. You're a nun.

I wish the sun would come out and the rain would stop!

Jewel101

04-02-2006, 02:44 AM

Granted. Now the rain has stopped and the sun is out. Unfortunately, it'll never rain and the sun will never go away. Everything's drying up. Everyone is dying. The world is drying up.

I wish I had something to wish for (toady was a perfect day)

poetinahat

04-02-2006, 03:34 PM

Granted. You do. Now, what is it?

I wish I weren't so gullible (April Fool's Day just takes it right out of me).

Godfather

04-02-2006, 05:04 PM

granted, now you refuse to believe anything (even that you've been paid)

i wish i was a harmonica virtuoso

Danger Jane

04-02-2006, 08:16 PM

Granted. You are good for absolutely nothing else. All the energy that was channeled into many venues now goes to harmonica playing.

I wish I had a hamburger.

Yeshanu

04-02-2006, 08:56 PM

No problem. I have one that's been sitting on my counter for a few days I could give you. Of course, you do know that the bacteria count doubles every 20 minutes...

I wish I could lose a few of these excess pounds that have been around for a few years.

robeiae

04-02-2006, 09:01 PM

Your wish is granted. You have a tapeworm now.

I wish football season started today.

tiny

04-02-2006, 09:58 PM

Granted..... but it's arena football abd they're all kickers.

I wish to be taller.

robeiae

04-02-2006, 10:15 PM

Granted. Your neck is now 9 inches longer.

I wish I had bought Microsoft stock in 1984.

threedogpeople

04-03-2006, 12:10 AM

Granted but you bought it through your ex-company's pension plan (the one that went belly-up when the administrator took all the money and disappeared to Mars).

I wish it was Saturday.

spirit.of.the.rain

04-03-2006, 01:49 AM

granted and granted. you have one until midnight on saturday night. you locked yourself in the freezer by accident in your underwear and you just got out of the shower so you're enclosed in a block of ice. shivering, you take your cell phone out of your pajama pants, and you call the first number on your contants : your child's day care center. of course, nobody's there, so when you try to call someone that can help you, your phone is out of batteries. oh, by the way, nobody finds you until sunday morning when your kid opens the freezer door to get some breakfast. s/he believes you're a monster and when you get melted, your child won't go near you for a year. your child and spouse have officially disowned you. have fun with that!

i wish i could finish crocheting my baby blanket for my brother in an hour and have it still look beautiful.

Danger Jane

04-03-2006, 01:54 AM

Granted. Your soul now belongs to Tiny Terror.

I wish it belonged to me.

threedogpeople

04-03-2006, 02:59 AM

Granted but in order to collect you have to go to Utah on a record-temperature breaking day in the middle of summer with 6 children under the age of 4. Oh, yes, the air conditioning is broken in the mini-van, only 2 of the kids are potty-trained, the mini-van has vinyl seats, you have a headache and the only thing that's keeping the kids quiet for 2 or 3 minutes at a time is Barney singing "I love you, You love me"...

I wish someone would come to my house and serve me a delicious dinner (right after they cook it from scratch and clean the kitchen).

alleycat

04-03-2006, 03:03 AM

Granted. It'll be fit for a dog. As a matter of fact, it will be dogfood. I hope I don't break all the dishes while I'm cleaning up . . . but I probably will.

I wish I had gotten more done this weekend.

sacredmime

04-03-2006, 03:19 AM

Done, you are stuck in a time loop, much like a very bad episode of Star Trek. In fact, William Shatner is with you and his halting dialogue and hand gestures are driving you insane.

I wish the person I have a crush on would call me and ask me out.

Jewel101

04-03-2006, 03:21 AM

he/she does. Unfortunately it is a prank and now everyone knows you're a loser and laugh at you when you walk by.
